The causes of Inflammatory Myopathy are often linked to an overactive immune system that mistakenly attacks healthy muscle tissues. This autoimmune response triggers inflammation and muscle degeneration. Additionally, genetic factors, viral infections, certain medications, and exposure to harmful toxins can also contribute to the development of this condition. In some cases, underlying health conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can trigger muscle inflammation. Dr. Anu Daber stresses the importance of identifying the root cause to create a personalized treatment plan that effectively manages the condition and prevents further muscle deterioration.
